Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better grades. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its best areas. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to only 84.45946 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. We looked at the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care, which turned out to be a weak link for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for short-term care. With our short-term care category, we strive to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
